If anyone wants to follow the humans’ new boss, Louis, you can find his houndy antics at @louisthegreyhound.bsky.social

We lost Finley unexpectedly this afternoon. We’re heartbroken and will miss him so much. Run free, you crazy, stubborn, awesome hound. You were the best boy. ❤️🌈

Giraffe snuggles. 🦒😴

Short, chilly stroll on the beach this morning.

Do any of my hound friends here have any experience of laryngeal paralysis? My breathing hasn't been right for a few days and the vet suspects I have this. 😔 Humans are worried.

Fluffy ducks make a lovely snoot rest. 🙂

Sniffing the snowdrops. Spring is starting to, er, spring!

Lovely stroll along the coast towards the castle this morning. #SkyHounds #Northumberland

There were deer on my morning walk! Behold as my ferocious prey instinct kicks in and I… kinda trot a bit faster. And have a bit of a tail wag. I may have harrumphed too. Look, it was a bit early for proper hounding. Can't go chasing things till you've properly warmed up. And maybe had breakfast..

I know I was looking dynamite in my starry coat this morning, but that seems a bit excessive... 💣💥

Mince for tea tonight, on a bed of rice and kibble, served in bed, in front of the fire. 🔥

Sunday snoot.

Goodnight, #SkyHounds

Paws galore.

Best place to be on a cold, snowy afternoon. #SkyHounds

Living the dream! I was made to get up before 10am today. Someone call Houndline...

Very chilly dawn walk on the beach this morning. 🥶 #SkyHounds #Northumberland

Someone opened the fridge!

I call this one ‘Sunrise With Ears’. 🙂

Someone is cooking steak. 🧐 I’m supervising.

Warming my ears by the fire. 🔥

Around this time of night, I like to sit and judge the humans. Folded paws, a good stare and some sighing soon has them wondering if they’ve forgotten to give me tea or treats. 🙂

Merry Christmas everyone! 🎁🎄 Zorsted now after unwrapping presents and eating unfeasibly large amounts of turkey…

Important update: Santa Paws still hasn’t been. 🎁 #SkyHounds

This morning’s pre-flight checks in howling winds and sub-zero temperatures went on for *ages*. Decided not to bother with a walk in the end and went back to bed…

Chilly tonight. Glad I’ve got a built-in snoot warmer.

Hounds should get advent calendars all year round. 🙂

This morning I successfully intimidated Bob The Goat. 🐐 💪(And then nervously ran away as fast as I could!)

Puffy cheeks. 😴

Happy 8th Gotcha Day to me! 🎂 I'm slightly greyer in the snoot these days, but training the humans properly is hard work...

Perfectly comfortable in my totally normal sleeping position, thanks.

It's December, so here's a flashback to when I broke Santa. He tried *everything* to get me to pose for a photo but I refused to move or even make eye contact. 😎🎅 This is the exact moment he gave up and started reconsidering his career choices. 🤣 (Nice synchronised hand and ear movement though!)

So a fat, white-bearded man in a red suit just shouted “Ho ho ho!” at me and said I’d make a good reindeer. Not sure if that’s a compliment, but at least he seemed jolly. 🤨🎅

Love it! That's a happy hound. ❤️

It’s been a ‘stay tucked up in bed’ kinda day.

As if the cold wasn’t bad enough, there were goats galore on my morning walk! I gave them The Ears of Disgruntlement. 🐐 #Goats #greyhounds

Way too cold for my morning walk so I just stood by a hedge until one of the humans got the car to drive me home. Greyhounds can hibernate, right? #winter

So tired today I fell asleep in the middle of my morning snuffle mat. Wake me when it’s tea time. 😴

I got a snuffle lobster for my birthday! It’s amazing - squeaky lobster you hide treats in. 😀🦞

Happy birthday to meeee! Rump steak to celebrate being 12. 🎁🎂🥳🎉🎈

Had the beach to myself again this morning. 🙂 #SkyHounds #Northumberland

When you want a snuffle mat but don’t want to get out of bed…

Monday morning ear scritches. Living the dream. #SkyHounds #Greyhounds #RescuedNotRetired

Apparently this is a classic bed fail. 1) I couldn't wait for the clean duvet cover to be put on, and 2) I'm mainly on the rug. I'd argue that my rump and tail are comfy though. 🤨

Eight years ago today, I was on Surrey Hills Community Radio to promote greyhounds as great pets. I fell asleep so deeply on the sofa, I fell off in the middle of the show. Job done, I think.

Hog rescue update - the terrifying creature has now been dropped off with our local rescue centre to spend the winter in comfort. #hedgehogs

Sigh. As if it’s not enough that these prickly blighters are in my garden every night, now the humans are rescuing them! #hedgehog

Beef mince, rice and kibble for tea, served in bed, in front of the fire. Decent effort by the staff tonight. 🙂

It's cold out there today. Someone wake me up when it's time for tea. 😴
